It may be something with the active / passive. The networking checks out fine.
No issues
in the company.
I was able to login, ftp.netbsd.org, using a Windows box. It did something to
the file that didn't past
the check after I copied it into the distfiles directory. Verified that I typed
bin too before starting the transfer.
I was able to get a good login and downloads from a Solaris box. Wound up
starting
the build, waiting for it to fail on a transfer then using a Solaris box to ftp
the file. Copied
it into to the distfiles directory and restarted the build. Tedious but worked.
I tried ftping in from the command line with the same results.

Here's where the output from the ftp command would be really helpful.
ftp ftp.netbsd.org | tee ftpoutput.txt

Would show you the output from the ftp command on the screen as well as
redirecting it to the file ftpoutput.txt. You could then paste the
contents of the file in to your email. That would probably enable
someone to identify exactly what networking problem you are experiencing.

I have encountered no issues
ftping, from 6.0, into a sun box here at work and doing an anonymous login to
gatekeeper.dec.com. The
scripts in pkgsrc have no issue with most of the other sites as well. I was
able to build about
150 packages fine.
So what changed from 5.1 to 6.0 with ftp? That was my previous OS version and
didn't have any issues
with pkgsrc builds.

This may not be the appropriate forum, but is anyone else having issues
doing
An ftp into ftp.netbsd.org<ftp://ftp.netbsd.org>? I installed 6.0 on my
machine at work on Christmas
Day and have not been able to build a number of packages. The script
attempts
To download python or pkg-config and fails. I look back and see a:
EX412 Service no available, remote server timed out. Connection closed.
I have tried from the box to do an anonymous login with the same results.
I have tried from a Linux box with same error. I am able to login from the
'other'
OS fine. I prefer to build the packages.
Is this just an issue with the server or a problem with 6.0...
